Microsoft Intern interview questions

Coding Round: Simple problems: The coding questions were straightforward and focused on basic problem-solving. They didn’t require advanced algorithms or data structures—just clarity in logic and implementation. No unexpected twists or advanced topics: The questions followed standard formats (like string manipulation, arrays, or basic recursion). There were no hidden constraints, edge-case traps, or trick questions. You could solve them with a calm approach and fundamental programming knowledge. Discussion Round: Random questions (general/behavioral/technical mix): This round covered a mix of different question types. Some were general (e.g., “Tell me about yourself”), others were behavioral (e.g., “How do you handle pressure?”), and a few touched upon technical concepts (e.g., basic OS/DBMS/networking questions). However, none went too deep into any one area. No resume/project-based questions asked: Surprisingly, the interviewer did not dive into your resume or ask about your past projects, internships, or skills mentioned in your profile. The round stayed away from personal experience and stuck to generic or conceptual topics.

I went through three interview rounds, each with a different employee. The overall experience was very positive, and the conversations were engaging. There were no technical questions, only behavioral ones focused on situational experiences and problem-solving.
